Unity C# Coding

Begining with a refresher to try and get my head around game design better…

…why am I doing this to myself again…  T_T

Finals!!! X3

ReAlly pleased with some not with others.

More to Come

All the colours of the Rainbow

INKBLOBBY!!!

Ok Did a total 180 then a 360, then popped and Olly and cracked an Endo before doing a japan air and grinding to a halt…er…what the hell am I talking about?

Oh year, I decided to go with a much more cartoony style in the end, as it allowed me to be more expresive with my character variants.

These are just the base characters with no clothing that reflects any culture, I just wanted to see which colours suited what shapes.

The finals will have a variety of hairstyles and clothing from what they have come into contact with.

I wanted to convey a kind of inkblobby brush strokey sort of look to them, like little failed art creations. Also be amazed at my descriptive writing “INKBLOBBY”.

Big Chunk

Ok this is going to be a large chunk of work from the past week or so, as i have had a lot going on recently and have oonly really remembered to update the blog today.

Below is a Character from the other week, it wasn’t until Andrew pointed it out that I realised all may character designs so far had been created looking powerful instead of weakened from loss of belief.

I had been toying with the Idea of the character becoming a child like version of itself, then having to regain it’s power and evolving back to where it was before the fall.

My friend Jane Pointed out that when a person looses their self belief they feel broken and old, which had not really popped into my mind before but it all made perfect sense. so I created old and you versions of one of my character designs and asked people which they though would work better on facebook.

Didn’t get the most overwhelming ammount of replies lol, everyone “liked” them though, luckily Charlotte actually read my post instead of just clicking the like button lol.

Below: Uploaded a pic of the SVG file from Alchemy loaded into Illustrator so I could show my friend jane what it looks like in Path form.    Really wanted to try my hand at Akihiko Yoshida’s Art style too, but I need a lot more practice.

Experimentation From Yesterday

Mistakes and Stuff

Don’t Even Ask, I think I need a cup of Tea…  😦

Self Doubt Rears it’s Ugly Head

It’s strange that the very subject this Project is about is the one thing that is now holding me back, I feel like all the work up to this point is sub par compared to everyone else’s. Most people are going for a more realist approach, but I prefer to be stylised with my work, I work better in a cartoony illustrative way, but I feel like that won’t cut it when compared to everything else.

I also wanted to try creating some anthropomorphized characters, but I felt like I couldn’t do that as people might view them as “furry” characters and shun them and myself for it. After hearing how the industry looks down upon These types of characters I feel a bit confused as to what to do, on the one hand I grew up with characters like, Sonic, Ratchet and Clank and Star Fox. On the other hand though, Furry artists have now marred something I like by over sexualising characters and confusing people.

People keep saying my work is great, but I’m confused as to whether I’m just being complimented even though it may look trite. I also feel that the character designs I have been working on have had little to do with self doubt and self worth. I need to go back to the drawing board and create something that better represents the feeling of it and the feelings that go with overcoming it.

As I am feeling self doubt, then thuis should be the perfect time to use my own personal feelings to effect my work… I hope.

For now some images to Inspire me.
